In today’s world, we are able to find fabulous buys at big-box stores. From sofas to chairs to chests, there are deals to be had. Items are massed produced, bought in large quantities by retailers, and offered at deep discounts. It is good for the consumer, but sometimes, uniqueness and personality get lost in the shuffle. One way to elevate the design of your room is to look to the past to inform the present. Let the Gothic tracery punctuating the great cathedrals of Europe speak to you in the 21st century. The lacy stonework represents our ability to think about details in inspiring ways. Good design is all about the details.

Venice is built on an archipelago of 118 islands formed by 150 canals and connected by 400 bridges. Whether I travel by boat or foot, I am always struck by the idea that Venice is so beautiful because of its many layers. Layers so exotic and rich capturing Western European, Byzantine, and Islamic influences through the ages. Just like Venice, intriguing interiors are made by living. Layer by layer is added expressing our creativity and spirit. As you are shaped and influenced by new experiences, let Venice inspire you.
